Yep you read that right, she swallowed a screw! She was listening to music at the computer and when I went to check on her she was looking suspicious so I asked her what she did. She said, "I ate a nail." I almost didn't believe her, but then I remember there being a small screw on the computer desk and now it was gone! She has swallowed beads before and they passed through, but I was a little worried about the screw so we headed to the ER to get x-rays. On the way in she excitedly says, "I'm going to get a sticker!" The x-rays showed the screw and luckily it did not have a pointy end. The doctor said it will pass through no problem in a day or two. Caroline was the best little patient and had no fear of anything (which is part of the problem!!)
